I thought that C4's purpose was to convert a set to another file type. Are you sure it makes maps as well?

c4 is a Perl script written by Brian Raiter, which can convert Chip's Challenge level files between four different formats: the original Lynx format, the Microsoft version's format, the DOS format, and a textual format designed by Brian. The latter format allows c4 to be used as a level editor.

c4 is indeed what you are looking for! The format you posted is Brian Raiter's text format.

Here is the source code; near the end of it is Brian Raiter's documentation, which will give you a refresher on the text format and explain the syntax for running c4 through the command prompt.
